You and your cult members are trying to summon the devil, he appeared, covered in blood and wounds, begging: “They’ve slaughtered us all, even gods and angels, help us my child”
“I’m sorry- WhAt?” Your fellow cult member yelps, staring at him. “You’re a guy?”
With an exasperated sigh he shook his head. “Yes! Is that all you have to say? You’re my last hope!”
Finally out of your trance, you agree to help him, as long as he tells you who ‘they’ are. With a horrified, distant look in his eyes, he whispers “hippopotami.”

Whale what do we have here? Scientists used to think hippos were closely related to pigs and other ungulates, but as genetic research advanced they discovered that hippos are much more closely related to cetaceans—whales, porpoises, and dolphins.

Aside from size, how does the pygmy hippo (Choeropsis liberiensis) differ from the common hippo (Hippopotamus amphibius)?
The pygmy hippo doesn’t spend as much time submerged in water, and it’s not as suited for aquatic life. For one, its feet are not as webbed as those of the common hippo. And unlike its larger relative, its eyes are set to the side, rather than on the top of its head. But don’t let the “pygmy” in its name fool you! This animal can still weigh up to a hefty 600 pounds (270 kilograms).
From the people who brought you the winged crocodile comes another blockbuster effort at putting bird parts where bird parts absolutely should not be: the beaked hippopotamus
